Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Andy Glockenspiel

 

No, he didn’t chop down the cherry tree
But one of his officers, Henry Lee
Said he’s first in war and “first in peace
First in the hearts of his countrymen”
“Father of the Country”

Chorus:
George, George Washington, he was the first President
George, George Washington, he lead the battle for independence
Born in 1732
He’s as true as the colors
Red, white and
his eyes were blue.

He was six feet tall
Stood for liberty and justice for all
Lead the Continental Army
Defeated the British, and we were free
“Father of the Country”

Chorus:
George, George Washington, he was the first President
George, George Washington, he lead the battle for independence
Born in 1732
He’s as true as the colors
Red, white and
his eyes were blue.

President of the convention that wrote our constitution
And turned into a working government

Chorus:
George, George Washington, he was the first President
George, George Washington, he lead the battle for independence
Born in 1732
He’s as true as the colors
Red, white and
his eyes were blue.
